ONLY 141 BUILT WORLDWIDE OF THIS CONVERTIBLE. AN ELEGANT FULL-SIZE
SPORTY TWO-DOOR CONVERTIBLE IN MAGNOLIA WITH LIGHT TAN INTERIOR AND
A TAN CONVERTIBLE TOP
THIS IS A FIRST GENERATION EXAMPLE The Bentley Azure is a
four-seater convertible grand tourer produced by British automobile
manufacturer Bentley Motors. The first version debuted in 1995 on
the Bentley Continental R platform and was made until 2003
Pininfarina assisted in the two-year process of turning the
Continental R into a full four-seater convertible and also built
the shell and soft-top at their factory in Italy, largely from
parts sourced in the UK. Final assembly was then carried out at
Crewe
A roll-bar was never considered, which necessitated extensive
reinforcing of the chassis [3]. At 210 in (5,340 mm) in length and
2,608 kg (5,750 lb) in weight, the Azure often surprised onlookers
with its size and bulk, intended to both convey a sense of
""presence"" and allow for comfortable seating of four adult
passengers. Power came from the company's stalwart 6
75-litre V8, featuring a single, intercooled Garrett turbocharger
and rated in the region of 365 PS (268 kW; 360 hp)-Rolls-Royce and
Bentley did not yet give official power numbers at the time of the
Azure's introduction. [4] By the time production began in earnest,
a new engine management system from Zytek meant a slight power
increase to 390 PS (287 kW; 385 hp) at 4,000 rpm and 750 N�m (553
lb�ft) of torque at 2,000 rpm THESE ARE TIMELESS, ELEGANT TWO-DOOR
CONVERTIBLES, AND WITH ONLY 141 BUILT IN 1999, A TRUE CLASSIC TO
